Hello all Waterfowl hunters!! Another season is on its way, can’t wait!! Has anyone been hunting the early goose season at all? How are the numbers? Hopefully good. Everyone good luck this year, and hope to hear some good field reprots. Take care.

Cduk,when did this happen? When straight line winds hit here they are in a narrow line. What was the case up there? Just around Webster,outlying areas? Thanks for the scoop.

Just an fyi to those of you coming up this fall, the Webster and Waubay areas were hit very hard recently with a wind storm. 100+ mph straight line winds took most of the trees down in the area. A lot of the land owners lost crops, buildings and friends. If you are up here, give something back when you get permission to hunt. Send some money at the local businesses. Give a farmer a hand. The residents could use a little extra this year.
Thanks in advance,
Duke

I didn’t make it out this weekend ( watching my 2 yr old grandson) but my two sons went out to the James River Valley east of Aberdeen and up to the Sand Lake Area. They said there are very large numbers around Sand Lake (SD GF & P say around 400,000 in this area) Very hard getting close enough to get any shots. They said they saw two groups of hunters trying to decoy, but they only tried to cow them on section lines.

jt- we hunt ND in October and the drakes can be scrappy. Check out my profile and it will give you an idea of early October birds in ND.

With the snow band running through the middle of South Dakota, where are all the geese hanging out at? Heard reports over in the Bristol area.

Squaw Creek in MO is now saying 50,000 snows. There are 950,000+ snows somewhere. Anyone seeing them?
Headed to SD Thursday and I am itching to get in the field!

Mellette (20 Mi. S of Aberdeen) 03-24-2008 11:30
Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees
Managed to get out Saturday (22nd), hunted in the Mellette area, birds seemed to be just starting to show back up after we had 8-14″ of snow here in Aberdeen on Thursday of last week. Managed just three birds, got in between two flocks feeding in the middle of a section. Walked the cows up the section line and sat down. The weather is supposed to be nice, but windy today and then chance of another snow event Wednesday into Thursday, should hold them south of us again. The southern part of the state is supposed to get rain. Keep shooting them to the south. Wouldn’t you know it the winds are blowing up to 30 and I am in my office watching flock after flock fighting the wind going south today.
